A DNA base sequence is A T G C C G. The sequence of bases in a strand of mRNA transcribed from this sequence of bases in DNA would be
A) T A C G G C.
B) U T C G G U.
C) U A C G G C.
D) A U G C C G.
E) T A G G G G.
mRNA
Messenger RNA, a type of RNA that conveys genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where it specifies the amino acid sequence of the protein products of gene expression.
DNA
DNA, a molecule responsible for carrying the genetic blueprints essential for the growth, development, operational processes, and reproduction of all recognized living entities and numerous viruses.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
During transcription, DNA is used as a template to make mRNA. The base adenine (A) pairs with uracil (U) in RNA, thymine (T) pairs with adenine (A), guanine (G) pairs with cytosine (C), and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G). Therefore, the DNA sequence A T G C C G would be transcribed to the mRNA sequence U A C G G C.
